• Convicted killer pleads guilty to supplying meth in Darwin community

CONVICTED killer and standover man Shane Mulhall will be sentenced next week after he was charged with dealing meth just six days after he was given a suspended sentence for a previous violent offence.

The 38-year-old appeared in Darwin Supreme Court on Tuesday after he was arrested and charged in October last year when a police raid on his Bakewell home uncovered about 75g of meth and almost $70,000 in cash.

He pleaded guilty to supplying a commercial quantity of methamphetamine earlier this month.

The court heard the police raid took place six days after Mulhall was handed a six-month wholly suspended sentence for trespass and threatening to burn down a house.

Crown prosecutor David Morters said the full six-month sentence should be restored “given his history and the speed with which he reoffended”.

Mulhall will return to court next week to be sentenced.
